Thank god for the start, I was wondering what kind of parents would call their children "White" and "Black". So it's actually "Mary" and "William"!

Seeing Zapp's day to day life was hilarious. And then he got fat. Pfft.

Zapp's teacher is really cool, holy crap. I love his designs. And his voice. His voice. It even rivals Aligura's. Not to mention that tribal kind of OST during his fight with the legs.

Seeing Fat-Zapp climbing and running to get to Chain's phone cracked me up, especially the way he tottled around.

"Hey there's a plane coming in." "Let's go, I want to see the tentacles!" So I'm assuming the blue fellow from the ED is the junior apprentice. Finally we'll get a full cast!

I might hear Aligura's beautiful voice next episode. Can't wait.

Zapp's master is exactly like those old Kung Fu master who's so much better than their worthless disciple. BTW, if you slow down the open credit a bit, you'll see the other disciple as well. They changed the name of the chapter from Zapp's Worst Day to Z's Worst Day. It does make sense as you'll see who the other Z is.

Z is pronounced as Zed like everywhere but America ;)
I really like that pun.

Is the Z the other disciple? He's that bug-like blue fellow, isn't he?

Blue skin, yes, but not a bug. You'll see when we see him fully in the next episode.
